I am having similar issue on 2011 Chevy Equinox LT and I found this recall about the fuel pump. I called GM and they said there is no such recall. UGH. Engine is running rough and making ticking noise and idling horribly. Smelling gas inside car also. UGH.

In reply to M Kohm. This is an Emission Recall, only the dealer can tell if there is an open recall. Try another dealer, ask if there are any open recalls and past recalls for your VIN.

This is very interesting. We bought a 2010 Terrain 2.4L from Wheaton Chev Olds |(used) . We have called to check if there is a recall or was a recall on the fuel pump for this model . They informed us that there was no such recall? We have been dealing with codes P0089, P0016, P228D . When I called to the service department to inquire how serious these codes were. I was told that the codes mean nothing to him and he can’t help. If I want to check a recall then he would need 3 years of service records? I thought this is a recall? I do realize we are late in responding ….. but when you are told there is no recall , we bought it used and did not receive the letter and the vehicle has been in safe mode reduce power for 1 week now ? We are told by Wheaton Chev Olds in Regina Sk Canada that they can not help us and he doesn’t care about the google codes it means nothing to him? I am really at a loss as what to do short of paying 1000.00 or so for the fuel pump replacement?
I would like to know if you will still honor the recall ?

Gasoline diluted engine oil destroys the engine internal parts. The gas will wash the metal surfaces including the cylinder sleeves which causes the piston rings not to seal causing heavy oil usage not to mention the bearing failures. Once an engine has been run any amount of time with gas diluted oil it is ruined. Too bad the manufacturers are not stepping to solve the problem. I guess a lot of the blame could go on the drivers that never check oil level. If you were checking the oil level at every fuel up you would have noticed the rising oil level and gas smell on the dip stick and had the HPFP (that is dripping gas into your crankcase oil) replaced before it was too late. Once the damage is done nothing you can do but replace or rebuild the engine. Sad part is that this is still happening in 2018 with brand new vehicles. CHECK YOUR ENGINE OIL PEOPLE you have some responsibility here also!
